Hi,
Quick question on rims for a second set of Tyres.

Will a set of rims from a Wrangler fit on a KJ 2003? I am looking around (I am in the UK) for a spare set just to use the times I am going offraoding, I would fit even remould like AT or Mud. Size of tyres would be eighter 225/75R16, 235/70R16 or 245/70R16 with a good bite :twisted: , at this stage I haven't fitted a lift on the Jeep (I will fit one in due course).

Thank you,

Fil.

if you're talking about the 15" alloy's from the wranglers, they won't clear the calipers (steel 15"s will) backspacing is usually the issue with wrangler to liberty rim transplants though

IIRC, some stock steel 15" wheels do not clear the caliper????

Hi,
I have found some 15' alloys from a Cherockee 97' with 225/75 R15, will these fit on the KJ and cover the calibers without a problem? I have discs on the back axel, seen photos od 2003 KJ with drum at the back.
